status: Awaiting validation 
A cast lead pendant in cruciform shape, dating to the Medieval period, c. 1100-1500.
The cruciform is very crudely cast with arms of uneven thickness and length. There is no perforation for suspension, nor is there any indication of the object functioning as a mount. Despite the lack of a suspension loop or perforation, it favorably compares with lead cruciform pendants found in the Medieval period.
